00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
you've built a new PC or upgraded your existing one and now it's time to

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:10,160
install Windows pretty straightforward right isn't it just a case of inserting

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,759
installation USB clicking through the prompts and arriving at your fresh new

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,960
desktop well it turns out there are still issues that you can run into even

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:21,320
though the process is supposed to be mostly automated we're going to tell you

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,240
all about these issues and how to avoid them starting with the first screen you

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,640
see once the installer loads up if you're attempting to install Windows 11

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,719
without extra bloatware pick English word world in the time and currency

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,520
format field you might get an error message but just skip it and once you

10
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:41,280
get into the Windows desktop you will need to change your country to the

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,800
appropriate setting in order to get the Microsoft store

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,320
working as if there's something on the Microsoft store that you want just

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,960
joking sometimes they force you but regardless of whether you care about bloatware what if the installer doesn't

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:59,960
even list your system's drives when it asks you where you want to install

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,399
Windows although Windows can usually

16
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:05,760
recognize your drives automatically there are still times when this won't

17
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:09,600
happen fortunately you can always download storage drivers from the

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,520
manufacturers website and either put them on your installation USB before

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,119
installing Windows or on a different USB

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,759
if your computer has another free Port click load driver follow the

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:26,079
instructions and your drive should pop up speaking of drives it can also be a

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,799
good idea to disconnect any extra drives

23
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:32,759
before you install Windows not only does this ensure you own accidentally pick

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,880
the wrong drive but Windows can sometimes weirdly install certain

25
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:41,479
installation files on a separate dis especially if you already have another

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,640
copy of Windows installed on that drive so if you ever remove or wipe that drive

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,159
your Windows installation could just stop working but once you get past these

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,439
first few steps you can still get tripped up because of the way Windows 11

29
00:01:51,399 --> 00:01:57,360
installer now requires you to be online

30
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,000

38
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:37,560
Link in the description previous versions of Windows allowed you to skip

39
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,640
through network setup but no longer this

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:44,000
presents a couple of problems the first is that like with drives the Windows

41
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:48,959
installer sometimes won't automatically install a driver for your Ethernet or

42
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:53,159
Wi-Fi controller fortunately also with drives you can mitigate this problem by

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,360
downloading the driver beforehand but you'll need a bit of command line

44
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Wizardry to install them hold shift and F10 to bring up the command prompt type

45
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,959
in this command to open up the device manager find your Ethernet or Wi-Fi

46
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:11,720
adapter and update the driver manually but here's the other problem what if you

47
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,720
want to bypass the need for an internet connection entirely this can be a

48
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:21,239
legitimate concern if you don't want to sign up for a Microsoft account or you

49
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,280
simply need to get into Windows and you're in a place without a connection

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:30,439
handy imagine that and unlike previous versions of Windows you're not presented

51
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:34,840
with an option to just use a local account to get around this ensure you're

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,040
not connected to the internet disconnect your Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi adapter if

53
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:42,680
you have to and bring up the command prompt again type in this command and

54
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,319
the computer will restart after going through the subsequent screens you

55
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,480
should see an option that says I don't have internet which you can click

56
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,599
through to a limited setup option that will let you proceed without an internet

57
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,239
connection will this approach work forever given Microsoft's push to

58
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,120
continue integrating Windows with its cloud services it's anyone's guess

59
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:06,680
whether they'll make offline installation even harder in the future do you have any suggestions for your
